I just found out that the amp went to John McClellan in STL. John is an extraordinary guitarist. He performs every year at the Chet convention, and usually goes to France in the summer to instruct classical guitar. His day job is at a college in the STL area. He has been endorsed by the Chet Atkins Estate to write books about the Chet style, Chet Atkins in 3 Dimensions, and others.

I know this doesn't ease the pain for Tavo, and others who were interested, and I hate that, but John is a good guy, a good friend, and a wonderful guitar player. He will do the amp proud.

I think that's great news Richard. Thanks for clearing up the mystery of its new home. This amp deserves to go to someone who will use it to play music as it was designed for. Disappointing for some to be sure, but it really couldn't have found a finer home, all things considered.

It is #1, with meticulous detail work, just as in the rest of the ones made. Mr Park's attention to detail is exceptional. I think only 10 were made. He took the project as a preservation of Chet history.
